Hi Dan,
I realize you said you were interested in one book and here I''m
recommending
yet another.
I like "Understanding Active X and OLE: A guide for developers and
managers"
by David Chappell. It''s mostly language neutral, and I thought he did
an
excellent job of providing enough technical details to keep developers happy
together with good overviews which are more likely to appeal to managers.
Now that I give a little more thought to what you are likely to be
interested in regarding COM/ActiveX/etc., I think this would be a better
book for you than either of the two I mentioned earlier.
I should point out that I haven''t kept up with new COM books for 5+
years,
so there may be newer books that I would prefer to the above. Then again COM
doesn''t seem to be nearly the hot topic for books that it was 5 years
ago.
Best regards,
Wayne
